The CM Storm Sirus delivers surround sound with a total of eight speakers onboard, four per side. Cooler Master says the headsets stand apart from the competition, with a Tactical Mixing Console (pictured below) that allows the user to make precise real-time adjustments to all the separate eight speaker channels. This could help reduce ambient noise, or isolate certain sounds, depending on user requirements – for FPS games, Cooler Master suggests lowering the center channel and raising the remaining channels to “simultaneously reduce distractions from your own gun noise and steps and increase your ability to detect enemy footsteps with pinpoint accuracy.”

The microphone onboard the CM Storm Sirus gaming headset is unidirectional, and features active noise cancellation. The headset comes with a choice of smooth leatherette or breathable circum-aural ear-pads, which are apparently easy to clip on and off, even “in-combat.”
